Dyno Day on the Fz1

Noggy, you may be able to open the file in PC5 without too much hassle (I have zero experience with it) by Right Clicking the file and selecting Open With... If the PC5 software is not in the immediately available list, just navigate to where it is installed (probably C:\Program Files (x86))

cheers for the tips geezers.

I did try searching under the drop down menu for pc3 and pc5 files but I couldn't find it but opening it up with the PC5 programme might be an idea.

if I could just click on brokers link and save it instead of running it then I could get it onto my computer and then go into the power commander programme and upload the file from the computer....but I didn't see an easy way to save the file to my computer....im sure it gave me 2 options....one involved signing up to drop box which I didn't want to do and then the other one was supposedly to get it but I had a little thinking or uploading tab appear at the bottom left of my screen....I think the options on that tab were either open or run with....it cant open because of the above message and then run with:-

I did kind of try running it via the power commander programme but I appeared to get lost.....I had the choose which programme for this file...then I clicked choose from list of programmes and then I looked for power commander but for whatever reason it wasn't very intuitive after that as I seemed to hit a brick wall without any apparent success....I don't recall it being as simple as ok power commander...Ok...then it uploaded.....there was just nothing.

will have another try tonight maybe.

How did u get on did you get it working ?

How did u get on did you get it working ?

I got this far but i have a PC5 & i seen earlier that devilsyam said that he could copy the tables but focced if i know how to do that.


I suppose i can just try and import this to my bike but something tells me it wont be that simple.


Or i can highlight the whole table & then "copy" and try and create my own table and paste in your tables-i can copy the table but again im focced if i know how to create a new blank table to insert these values into.


Always gotta make things hard for myself :rolleyes




Anyone got a half decent PC5 map they can send me i think that would be easier?




Got this error when i saved it....i think it is to do with the different file types.

Brain wave :think


Maybe i can open up one of the standard pc5 maps and delet the values from it some how and then paste these into it.......?




Edit - just tried this i opened up a pc5 map, deleted all the values....copied brookers and then pasted them and then saved it as brooker converted.


Fingers crossed it works but when i saved it i didnt get the error message this time.


shite weather right now but i got some time off coming soon.

.......................................................bike o clock mokin


Straight off massive difference with the smoothness or rather eagerness of the throttle


roundabouts in 2nd gear are no longer a kamikaze bucking bronco surge fest


definitely gained a chunk of low down and a chunk of mid range grunt....i could hear the difference via the K&N induction roar...much much better so fat and guttural


if anything i would say that the top end rush is a bit less......could be that the transition is just so much smoother but i'm just calling it as i see it and i'm not convinced that the speedo speeds top-endy were as high as they might have been before but i don't really care about that...it is probably marginal and then extra smoothness and grunt I've gained are well worth it.


big thank to Brooker for giving us the map for free....good egg :thumbup .....id love to have a dyno run now to see where it is at


considering i got used to the thing with mods and no power commander which likely would have done damage eventually and i had just got used to the throttle in the end for thinking it was good because it got better after i blocked the AIS but now it is in another world.


I started off about 1920hrs and filled up so i can compare mileage to a tank. Then i planned on getting Nick some evening sun pictures of the route that i had planned albeit in reverse so i headed off towards Newgale beach......except i ended up behind another young guy on a GSXR, not sure if it was 600 or a 750 but was 2 tone with silver...i think silver and black....anyway i kept my distance from him until he clocked me and then he decided to be mr silly overtaker to get away from me which i dont do...if anything im a bit too cautious sometimes. I soon caught up with him and it was clear he wasnt the best on the corners....cocky enough but was apexing far too early....passed Newgale & Solva and seen my chance to skin him so off i went until we soon got to St.Davids...then took the St.Davids to Fishguard road with some lovely twisties and soon had him out of sight so i slowed up a tad to let him catch up & he wasnt....edit...yes he was.... that far behind and so we played tag until fishguard with me letting him pass me on a big straight where he predictably gunned it.


Doffed our caps and flicked our canes before he peeled off into fishguard after waving at all his mates along the way......"wave away loser" :lol
That's what biking is about for me...thoroughly enjoyable...never seem to get any sport...usually with bloody cars....neither of us were shit hot but it was fun & if it wasn't for his sill overtaking would have been even better....i was buzzing.


stopped off for some delicious fish and chips at "Somethings Cooking" in letterston and texted my missus a photo of them to piss her off after lumping me with so many chores during the day.


afraid that's the only pic i managed to take Nick :\ :\ :\


edit - i did copy and paste the map table into a pc5 map that i deleted the values from.
